I sometimes have this silly little debate with my friends about which is the coolest looking Link. You know what I mean. There's the Wind Waker Link, the 4 Swords Link, the Ocarina of Time Link and so on. My thought on this is, when you are playing a "Link" game, which one of the Links' do you enjoying using the most? I mean the sword slash, the walking or rolling around, the swimming, and the communicating with others. They are not all the same. In fact, I would say that each Link is considerably different from another Link. If you agree with this (and its okay if you don't), why not tell us about why you choose the Link that is "coolest" to you? I guess I have to go first, don't I? Oh very well then.
It probably won't be a secret to those who have seen what I think about this Link Stuff, but I think the coolest Link is the Ocarina of Time Link. Mostly the big Link. Mostly.
Why? I realize that we are talking N64 graphics here but it doesn't matter to me. I can see past the early rendering errors of the N64 Link. Much like I can for the N64 Mario.
To me, this Link is the consummate Link in that he first came to "life" in this incarnation. Some people say that something can never really be as good as the first something. What do you think?
Besides what I already said above, I liked the idea that Link was still an obvious computer character and not almost real looking. Not that there is anything wrong with the more modern Link. I think that this particular Link had just about everything that a videogame character should need for a 3D game and I was and still am happy with that. I know that there were some targeting issues with this Link but, again, as strange as it may seem, I LIKED that aspect of Link-he was very good but not perfect. You could still get killed or lose something if you were not good enough at manipulating him. It required skill to use him well.
Plus, you sort of get two for one with this Link. Young Link was sort of a weenie but that should be expected of a young boy of few years. The fact that you got to use both of the Link characters (young and older Link) in the game makes it even cooler for me.
I guess I could go on but let's hear from someone else now. Anybody ready to say who their coolest Link is? I hope so because I would love to hear it. Thanks for your time.
